Note that the Breeze Evolution work is actually just about everything *but* icons.

I hope someone picks up Accent Colors. It seems like one of the biggest complaints of Plasma I see is Breeze Blue. An easier way to set the color scheme would go a long way towards addressing that, IMHO.

In fact there is an open merge request: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma...e_requests/305

It's gotten stalled due to some UI disagreements, but it will eventually be merged, in some form.

I hope the changes will also be made to the Breeze-GTK design? This time around hopefully with a proper "dark" preset (the current works, but only if the application is requesting darkmode - and my "forced" dark breeze-gtk is pretty butchered only works partly, i'm just no theme-designer ^^).

Looks like a nice evolution though, all things considered (maybe the radius on the buttons is a tad to big?)
Oh and: a happy new year or course ^^

Yes the changes are coming to the Breeze GTK theme too. Not sure what you're referring to about the dark mode thing though. Can you file a bug report on Breeze | GTH theme?

Happy new year to you too!

Looking forward to production ready fix for subsurfaces clipping bug.

Looking forward to see KwinFT as a production-ready drop-in replacement.

There is KwinFT project, but I hope KDE developers will come to some terms how to cooperate on it, instead of just forking it forever.
